Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin said on April 5 that a proposed referendum on the nature of Transdniester's relationship with Chisinau would have "no legal bearing." "Nobody has annulled the Helsinki agreements on the immutability of borders in Europe, and so a recognition of Transdniester is out of question" Voronin said. Transdniestrian officials decided on March 31 to hold the referendum.
